In fact, scientists found more than one thousand different rings, comprised of rocks and ice, circling the planet. Theories on the creation of the solar systen and the composition of certain planets will be revised as a result of discoveries made during the space mission, accor- ding to 'two University resear- chers. PROFS. THOMAS Donahue and Sushil Atreya, both from the University's Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Department, took part in the planning and im- plementation of the Voyager I project. Atreya said Voyager I sought extensive information about Saturn to put together a more complete understanding of planet evolution.. "When we put all the data poin- ts of our observations of different planets together, the picture is not as simple as the one we tried to create," Atreya said. "Old theories no longer hold." See SCIENTISTS, Page12 White jury acquits Nazis, Klansmen From AP and UPI GREENSBORO, N.C.-An all white jury found four Ku Klux Klansmen and two Nazis innocent of murder and riot charges yesterday in the slaying of five communists gunned down at a "Death. to the Klan" rally last year. The jury of six men and six women, after hearing testimony from 125 wit- nesses and sifting through a mountain of evidence, deliberated seven days before rendering a verdict in the longest trial in North Carolina history. Found innocent of first degree mur- der and felony riot were Nazis Roland, Wood, 25, and Jack Fowler Jr., 28, both of Winston-Salem; and Klansmen Coleman Pridmore, 37, and Lawrence Morgan, 28, both of Lincolnton; Jerry Smith, 33, of Maiden, and David Mat- thews, 25, of Newton. BEFORE THE verdict was read, Superior Court Judge James Long directed a dozen police officers in the packed courtroom to "arrest and remove anyone who disrupts the reading of the verdict." Long said he would tolerate no outbursts; there were none. Greensboro police SWAT teams ar- med with rifles were stationed on roof- tops surrounding the courthouse to head off any possible violence by Klan- smen or the communists, who have labeled the trial a "farce." The defendants were arrested after the November 3, 1979 rally by the Communist Workers Party ended in a fierce two-minute gun battle. VIDEOTAPES BY reporters, which made up the brunt of the prosecution's evidence, showed a caravan of Nazis. and Klansmen stop in front of the rally. A stick fight broke out and then there was a hail of gunfire. Killed were Sandra Smith, 29, of Piedmont, South Carolina; James Waller, 37, a CWP organizer in textile plants; Cesar Vintop Cauce, 25, a Durham hospital worker; William Sampson, 31, a former Harvard Divinity School student; and Michael Roland Rathan, 33, a Durham physician. The trial marked the first time videotape has been admitted as eviden- ce in North Carolina history. The tapes were made by four television stations covering the rally. During the trial prosecutors and defense attorneys painted contrasting pictures of the events leading to the clash. Defendants testified they only meant to "heckle the communists." Prosecutors insisted the Klansmen and. the Nazis came armed and looking for a fight. ONCE A PLANET known only by its six rings, Saturn has become a special point of interest this past month as the Voyager I spacecraft sent home numerous photographs exhibiting Saturn along with Titan, the largest moon in our solar system. Saturn is shown here in a composite of the images of the Saturnian system rising behind the moon, Dione. Building may get Fleming name By PAM KRAMER Twelve years ago the University campus was raging wit student unrest, the fortress-like Administration Building was being completed, and Robben Fleming was beginning his 11- year term as University President, The Regents are now considering renaming the Administration Building in honor of Fleming and his wife, Aldyth University Vice President and z Chief Financial Officer James Brinkerhoff said the Regents are ex- pected to approve the name change at a meeting this week. There had been talk of naming the Modern Languages Building after the Flemings, Brinkerhoff said, but, "after, listening to the pros and cons, we decided that it would not be ap- propriate." The idea to rename the Ad- ministration Building after Fleming, evolved during the past six months, he added. Fleming was president of the Univer- sity from 1968-1979, a period charac- terized by student unrest in the begin- ning, and economic stress later.

City, agencies blamed for audi -A " By ELAINE RIDEOUT A federal government agency has said that neither the city nor the two Community Development Block Grant agencies is solely to blame in a recent audit dispute, City Councilman Ken Latta (D-2nd Ward) said at last night's city council meeting. The city froze funding for the Model Cities Health Center and Model Cities Legal Clinic Sept. 5 when the agencies refused to cooperate with a city- ordered audit of their financial records. CITY OFFICIALS called for the audits when they learned from Internal Revenue Service reports that the health center had failed to report to the city half of its income earned over a four- year period, thereby constituting a breach of contract, officials claimed. Since the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development "could not clearly establish that the city had the right to come in and look at the books, they had to find the city as well as the agencies at fault," Latta said. Latta said city attorneys referred to the wrong clause in the city's contract with the agency when they cited breach of contract. LATTA SAID the controversy centers. around the language of the contract between the model cities agencies and the city. He said the contract asks for compliance with a section of the HUD bylaws that is inapplicable, as it refers to sub-grantees." "The agencies in question are not sub-grantees," he said. Latta said the city is also required to know the definition of "program income" and to include this in any contract agreement. THE OPINION, written by Director of Community Planning and Develop- ment Rich Paul, to Ann Arbor program officer Louis Rampp, said profits ear- ned by the agencies through service fees need not be reported. "Service fees derived from grant- assisted public service activities provided by contract as part of the city's block grant program are t mix-up program income... (Therefore fees derived from other sources are not program income)," the memo said. It concluded that while no funding sanctions are appropriate in the case against the city or the agencies, the, city has the responsibility for settling the dispute. "THE WHEELERS are on the right track - they don't have to open all their books," Latta commented, referring to ,Emma Wheeler, Director of the Health Center and her husband and spokesman for the agencies, former Mayor Albert Wheeler. But Latta said the recommendation is "no guarantee of anything" because See CITY, Page 9 By MAURA CARRY The University can be smaller and better,. two professors from the Center for the Study of Higher Education told the University Senate yesterday. Center Director Marvin Peterson and Prof. James Miller gave some suggestions for re-direction toward the smaller University with a better paid faculty and staff called for by President Harold Shapiro. In a panel discussion they focused on the implications of the "smaller but better" theme. "SMALLER CAN mean better, Miller said, but it would be difficult for the University to take a reduction in resources and come out ahead. - One way to avoid that dilemma, -he said, is to concentrate limited resources in a few areas, trimming fat from other areas at the same time. Peterson said the University should decide exactly where it is going to become smaller, possibly by directing its attention away from research. He said the University tends to value the quality of research more than the quality of instruction, but that the state is more concerned about the Univer- sity's capacity to instruct. A reduction in state allocations to the University could reflect this state concern, he said. Peterson said scaling down the University could be looked at in three ways. First, he said, the University could make cuts by not filling staff and faculty positions opened by natural at- trition, and by the elimination of academic programs found to be unessential. The second method would be to focus on reallocation--the shifting of resources from one University unit to another-while establishing priorities by which to reallocate. THE THIRD alternative offered by Peterson was retrenchment-thb reduction of personnel and programs above and beyond the rate of attrition. "This may be what we will be faced with," he predicted. Miller said these types of alternatives would have to be considered by the University administration due to the state's lingering financial problems. He also pointed out that the: number of traditionally-aged college students' is steadily decreasing, and the overall college enrollment nationwide is expec- ted to drop about 15 per cent by the 1990s. In the period between 1950 and 1970, Miller said, the nation witnessed an ex- plosion in college enrollment. "There was unusually generous federal support to higher education and research," he said. BUT NOW, on the other hand, other pressing social issues have forced higher education to take a back seat, according to MIller. The generosity of the federal government during the 1950s through the 1970s was "a once-in- a-lifetime occurrence," meaning the University must maintain whatever funding it can to maintain the quality of its programs, Miller said. TODAY- Yumy termites, D O YOU LIKE your burgers crunchy? Want to add a little zest to an omelette? Researchers with the Forest Products Research Commission in Manila, the Philippines, have a suggestion for a tasty, nutritious food of the future - termites. The commission suggested turning tables on the voracious little critters that eat people's that this new breed of robbers is "sticking up" its victims by gluing their hands to a wall or a desk with super glue and then emptying the victims' pockets or purses. Once a per- son is fastened to a wall or furniture, it is virtually im- possible to get free without the aid of a doctor. Says the British safety council about the use of super glues as a sort of weapon: "These glues are a real menace in the wrong hands."

Surrounded by officials and reporters, Goldin got into the high seat of one of the sweepers and drove several yards through a pile of leaves. Many of the leaves were left behind. The sweepers normally cost $3,500 each and $2,500 to transport, the mayor said. But they were delivered free by Sea-Land Service, Inc. The mayor said the machines will probably be used on paths in Central Park.

Joe Edley, 32, who is now a night watchman in San Francisco, bested 31 other U.S. and Canadian players to win the three-day tournament and a $5,000 prize or trip for two to England. The tournament, which was held in San- ta Monica, Calif., was sponsored by Selchow and Righter Inc., the manufacturer of the popular word game. Edley described himself as "an eternal student," saying that Scrabble was just one of his studies. "I feel very lucky," he said. He averaged 400 points per game.
